The Art Beat Season II focuses on the life and work of a further eight leading contemporary Chinese artists. Through an examination of their personal philosophies and their original paintings, performances and writings, the series reveals how, emboldened by the inspiration and strength they have gained from Chinese traditions, they have embraced innovation and taken their chosen art form into new areas of exploration.
As the first artist to perform pingshu on television, Tian Lianyuan has been a key figure in this traditional art's return to popularity in recent decades. Pingshu involves a single performer telling a story. He has no musical accompaniment and only some very basic props. Tian believes that the secret to telling a story well lies in creating a vivid atmosphere in which the audience can give full play to their imagination.
